But really?! So my hamster tattoo was the shop "minimum" I love the shop, they have done the 2 good tattoos I have (Hammy and paper airplane) and was $80 each. Thats the shop's minimum.
Well I go in, and all I want is a outline of a puzzle piece the size of a quarter or a nickel..
And its still $80.
I know the $80 is the minimum, but I figured they would be nice since I been a good customer for almost 5 years but they say they cant.
I am sorry, but I feel like a simple black line the size of a quarter isn't fair to charge nearly $100 for.
I really don't want to go to another shop because everytime I do, the person messes up, no matter how good thier profolio is.
:/

If they are good. Stay with them. You trust them.
Quality is everything. 80 dollars is alot for an outline but 5 yrs is alot of trust. |

Lol, actually the artist who did my paper airplane called me and said he would do it for the "Normal" minimum of $50.
Its still a lot.
How much woud I tip for that? When he did my airplane I gave him %25 which ended up being $100.
I always tip my piecer there at least 20%
But
1. This calls for no real creative talent or artistry
2. If I tip 25% it comes to 62.50 which is a wierd tip of $12.50

if i asked my tattoo guy for that, he would not charge me, just sayin.
80 is a fuckin lot for a minimum. minimum went out the door for me and my tattoo guy when we got close. i think after five years they would give you a bit of a deal there :S maybe get your money worth and get a couple small things? haha |

Urban Art Tattoo.
I see either Sam, Justin, or Trojan.
Trevor is my #1 piercer, I won't let anybody else touch me.

also, being as its such a simple tattoo, i would find a shop that might charge you less. i wouldnt pay anywhere near 80$ for the tat you described.
